Philodendron 'Brandi'

🔥🌿 Philodendron ‘Brandi’ / Philodendron brandtianum (fil-oh-DEN-dron BRAN-dee-AN-um) 🌿🔥

Also known as: Silver Stripe Philodendron, Brandi Philodendron

A compact climber adored by collectors, Philodendron ‘Brandi’ is famous for its olive-green, heart-shaped leaves brushed with silvery variegation. The shimmering, painted look of the foliage makes it stand out among philodendrons, whether allowed to trail from a pot or climb up a moss pole for larger, more dramatic leaves.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light brings out the strongest silver variegation. Can tolerate medium light, but leaves may lose vibrancy. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch.
💧 Water – Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep soil evenly moist but well-draining. Avoid soggy conditions to prevent root rot.
🌡️ Humidity – Thrives in moderate to high humidity (60%+). In drier homes, use a pebble tray or humidifier. Ideal temps: 65–85°F (18–29°C).
🌱 Growth – Moderate grower. Trails nicely but shines when given a pole or board to climb. Climbing encourages bigger, more silvery leaves.

📊 Difficulty: Intermediate (not fussy, but needs steady humidity and light for best appearance).

🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. Contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, and stomach. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
For the most dramatic silver markings, give consistent bright, indirect light and humidity. Training on a moss pole will reward you with larger leaves that show off the full beauty of the silver streaks.
